Regulation Against “Hate Speech” and “Fake News” Is a Leftist Ploy

Impeded by the redoubtable First Amendment in the U.S., the Left has found new devices to block well-reasoned and scientific opinions that oppose its orthodoxy. The devices have been deployed in legislation and regulation internationally, and across U.S. campuses.

    It’s because the National Socialists were obvious. These new DEMZIs use similar strict by any means based methods, yet don’t want to make the same mistakes that caused the world to be against the NAZIs.

    The comparison to the Nazis is spot on. BUt the Nazis were obvious, the New Left is subtle.

    To convict as a "Hate" crime should require proving intent beyond doubt. An impossibility since none of us are telepaths....

    Of course if there are any telepaths they would never admit to it since doing so would reduce their expected life span near zero.

    Indeed. In reality they wish to promote "fake news" that conforms to their Marxist narrative.

    Funny that UNESCO wants to protect against "fake news" but has yet to censor a single article from the Leftist New York Times despite the fact that their editorial bias was exposed last week with direct quotes from their editorial meeting...

    True. And in that drive they have perfected the art of calling opinions they disagree with as "fake news."

    "Savvy Street" will be the first one to be gagged should this "law" come to pass.

    Great article, thanks for your effort.

    More of it is needed in this country.

    Of course it is.

    Who decides what is a hate crime?

    For the left everything the right stands for is of "hate". That is the reason there is no dialogue between the two.

    This follows from the left's projection of characterizing the right in a despicable light for things that the left is engaged in. It is a vicious circle that if you engage in, can't come out as a winner.

    It is one of the methods the left is perfecting in its insatiable drive for power.

    Agreed. A crime is a crime, no such thing as "hate" crime or compassion crimes.

    Indeed, and that's why they do it. And it's proven to be more effective than armed Marxist revolutions.

    Controlling the language means you bias the discussion in your favor

    I agree with you LB. My mother didn't allow us to use the word, 'hate'. Get you in trouble fast. We were allowed to 'dislike' something but not 'hate'.
